As _ entered the village B/F Name hugged her.
"You're okay!" she yelled. _ nodded and looked around. Worried villagers surrounded them. Most were holding bags while half of the men were prepared for facing the Vikings. _ pulled away from her friend. A village leader walked in front of the crowd and yelled to everyone, "The Vikings have finally found our location. All ladies and children will go to the hideout in the mountains. The rest stay and fight!" his expression weakened as he added, "I wish you all the best of luck."
The women and children started heading for the mountains and the men sat down waiting. B/F Name began to lead _ away. _ looked over her shoulder once more before joining the women. After hours of walking through the forest and mountains, they finally arrived. The location was basically impossible to see and or find. The village had already dug out doorways in the hillside. It used to be their old village until they decided to move closer to water. Even though their lives were no longer in danger, many women were in tears at the fact their sons and husbands would be killed. _ and B/F Name shared a room just like they did before. _ plopped down onto her blanket sighing. B/F Name sat down right in front of her and began to question her friend.
"You never told me what happened in the forest. Did they catch you? If he did why are you still here? Also why were you limping the whole way here?"
_ looked up at her friend's curious face and looked down again.
"Yes, I did happen to run into a Viking, but he spared me. All he did was wrap my wound and tell me to run away", she revealed her ankle and continued, "Is that not strange?"
_'s eyes met her friends wide ones. She was speechless, but managed to mutter, "Indeed, that is very strange"
There was silence for a moment before B/F Name asked, "What was his appearance like? Was he tall? Fearsome? Terrifying? Gruesome? HAIRY?!"
"…no…but he was kind of tall…if anything…he was quite…charming"
"WHAT?"
"He had such lovely eyes"
B/F Name looked at _ as though she was going insane. She rested her head on her hand and weakly said, "You are telling me…this Viking was charming…and has lovely eyes?"
_ nodded saying, "He is quite attractive, and you should see his eyes for yourself"
"I would prefer to never even meet him!"
"Oh…"
A silence fell among the room once more.
"Well that is a shame, they really are quite lovely"
B/F Name sighed facepalming.
